Sully-Miller Contracting Company, Brea, Calif., is under contract with the Pasadena Department of Public Works to complete the project. 

The CalRecycle grant program promotes markets and uses for recycled-content surfacing products made from waste tires generated in California. The goal is to decrease adverse environmental impacts from unlawful disposal or stockpiling of waste tires. Rubberized asphalt concrete is a proven road paving material that has been used in California since the 1970s. It is made by blending ground tire rubber with asphalt binder and mixed with conventional road aggregate materials.
